From Lt. Me Fe "Mike" Andrews, Physical Training Director at the Aviation Cadet
Detachment, Merced, Calif. Mike played football at K.U. in 1938. Mike writes,
"Last January I was attending a two-week Physical Fitness course at San Antonio,
Texas, and ran across Captain Gordon Gray. He is Physical Training Officer at
Waco, Texas. Seems as the many Jayhawkers are doing a good job in physical train-
“inge « « « dust received a letter of commendation from the colonel for our work
in physical training. . . . Before I close I want to say after reading the Novem-
ber Rebounds that I am proud to be able to say that I knew T. P, Hunter,"

Mike, you bet we are tickled to death to put you on the mailing list. It is
not necessary that a fellow play basketball, football or anything else, to get
on our mailing list, You fellows are playing the biggest game right now that you
have ever played, and any boy in this fuss is more than welcome to one of these
_ Rebounds if he will just let us know his desires, and his address, I started

writing these letters, Mike, to just a few of the boys, not necessarily basketeers,

but we used the Rebounds name, of course, from the fact that we rebound from the
backboard, The biggest hope that I have is that all of these boys rebound from
the Japanagis.e We will keep them rolling to you, Mike.

I am aluays gled to hear from my golfing friend, W. L. “Bill” Winey, Yerd Dis-
pensary, Mare Island, Calif. Bill, we —— delighted that you were able to take
in the Oklahoma game and see us beat the Sooners in Hoch Auditorium, A lot of the
boys would have given anything to nat ehbed in the auditorium that night and with
the lights out to have sung the Star Spangled Banner, and then witnessed a pretty
good Kansas basketball team that night humble the Sooners.

Ens. We. A. "Bill" Forsyth, c/o Fleet Post Office, San Francisco, who played on a
fine University of Pennsylvania team a year ago, writes: “Have been out here in |
the Pacific for a few months now and will be here too many more months. However,
we have the Japs on the run, but they are still plenty powerful and can give us
much damage. Some of their battle tactics make you wonder why you should take
prisoners or why you should give them medical assistance, But then you remember
you are not a Jap but an American and you take care of the little devils."

That is a swell attitude, Bill, but I think you are more Christian than some
of us could be. Bill, you are one of the boys that we are waiting on to return
to have a powerful Kansas basketball team.

A change of address comes from T/4 Lewis G. Musick to APO 228, New York. Lew
played football in '42, and was Armand Dixon's buddy from Redondo Beach, (Czlit.,
the most outlying state in the Unione Some fellow from Florida said those
Californians could out-lie any wate. in the United States, But Armand and Lewis |
are a pair of good guys.

From Sgt. Re Se “Bob” Charlton, APO 374, New York, son of Glenn Charlton, a
Lawrence insurance impressario, comes the following: "You've done another swell
job on Jayhawk Rebounds. Except for the news of T.P., the edition was swell
reading. He was a.man's man in every respect. Visited this city (Dijon) and
found it most interesting. And by gosh, if they don't have a pretty fair gym
with basketball being the favorite sport. We don't have much time for it, however."

We'll be looking for you back to help your dad in the near future, Bobs ~

From that fighting Texan, Lt. John A. Pfitsch, (from Pfleugerville), APO 439,
New York, one of "Blood and Guts" Patton's bests: “We haven't been loafingse « « «
